📧 DAY 7 – It’s About Them.

Their golf is their opportunity to grow.

When your child chooses golf in their younger years and teens, it really is just a game, but it can become one of the most powerful environments for personal growth.

Golf teaches focus, responsibility, emotional control, self-talk, patience, and perseverance. It builds character in ways that few things do and that’s where your role becomes even more important.

Your job isn’t to live through it. It’s to protect it.
Not to control the outcome, but to support the process.

The big picture:

The goal isn’t to raise a low-handicap player.
The goal is to raise someone who can handle frustration, face challenges, work with purpose, and walk through life with self-respect.

If golf helps them build that, amazing.
But even if they move on from the game one day, how you showed up during this time will always stay with them.

Key Insight:

Your legacy as a sports parent isn’t built on performance, it’s built on presence. The way you support them now becomes part of who they are long after the game is over.

Reflection:

What qualities do you hope golf helps your child develop, and how can you support those through your actions?

Thank you for reading.
I truly hope this series gave you clarity, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on how to support your junior golfer on and off the course. Your time, reflection, and willingness to grow means everything. If even one idea helped, it was worth sharing.
